(small) Bike Things You've Done Today

  1. Very sweaty short ride to the Bristol Superbike Factory to see how much they might px my Beemer for. Not confident of decent money as it's a rare & mainly unknown bike, but hey - gotta try....
     
  2. If i remember it was about 2 yrs ago? was it replaced with an original.
     
  3. Gotcha, just thought the vintage would be you what with your advancing years an all...............

  5. You are indeed correct
    it was in fact replaced with a different type not sure which type but hopefully this new one will work?
     
  6. Fingers crossed all will be good.
     
  7. Nice! I bought some of these to replace my knackered old Racer gloves based on your kind and altruistic test that you did…

  8. Dave Day has been fantastic. Would recommend to anyone if they do another next year.

  12. K5 would be borderline too new for the show, I'll have to ask tomorrow what the age requirements are

    Believe it or not, I've had more conversations regarding the wetdream, as I have the other two combined

  13. I just ordered a new gear lever for the 999. £165. As if that weren't painful enough it took about half an hour faffing about to where the 'buy now' button worked. Then my payment was declined. So more faffing about and go through it again. And it's declined again. And I'm about to try again and I get a text from Santander saying they blocked both transactions. I had to send them a code and do it again.

    I've done enough swearing on here lately that it's becoming old, so please provide your own approximations of what I think of Santander.
     
  14. Are you the only one showing at this event or are the showers mixed in with the goers?
     
  15. Pretty much all mixed together, the guy next to me, gazebo and white transit, has brought 4 bikes, one C70 and 3 monkey bikes, parked behind his gazebo when I took the pics

    Will try and get more pics of the show for tomorrow

  16. I owned a DAX when I was about 13, well say owned. Me Dad bought off his mate at work, rode around for a few years on waste ground. Then when I got to 17 it got sold one day and not by me.
    Fast forward 40 years and I managed to buy the rarest of the DAX range a Lady DAX which I sold in a moment of madness, had the flower seat and everything.
     
  17. Popped out to the coast with the noisy neighbours.
